The General and His Enemy Your Highness

The blue sky is like washing, the clouds are floating in the sun, and the courtyard is clustered with red plums. The young man is wearing a snow-white cloak, which seems to be dyed with the fragrance of clear plums.

When he heard that the servants came to report to Mr. Lin asking to see him, Chu Ce didn't change his face, and only ordered to come in.

When Lin Shuyu saw the young man under the red plum tree, Lin Shuyu didn't hide the surprise and interest in his eyes.

Chu Ce has a gentle appearance, even when his face is expressionless, he is extremely harmless and gentle, and even a seemingly bookish air makes him look weaker.

The young man stepped on the snow, and red plums fell at his feet, like an ink painting scroll.

Just as Lin Shuyu was about to step forward, a snow-colored figure flashed across and blocked between the two of them, and a cool and pleasant voice sounded: "Master Lin, if you have something to say, just stand there and say it."

Liu Changjue was dressed in a snow-colored long-sleeved robe, with silver threads outlining complex cloud patterns, and a white jade hairpin tied with a moon hairpin. His eyes were hardened like ice balls, and when he opened the folding fan in his palm, his brilliance was revealed. threaten.

Not knowing where to find someone blocking the way, Lin Shuyu was stunned for a moment, then half-closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Your Excellency?"

Just now, even though he hadn't fought against each other, he secretly sensed that the opponent's sweeping force was tyrannical. In addition, in this severe winter, he was wearing single clothes and his face was normal, which showed that his internal strength was comparable to his.

Mr. Liu, who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, closed his folding fan, his beautiful eyes were indifferent, and he said casually: "Staff."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Chu Ce who was walking forward, feeling depressed.

King Xiping is such a bastard, he just went to the northwest by himself, but he still has to protect Chu Ce, incompetent!

Lin Shuyu looked gloomyly at the gentle and harmless Duke Huai, with a flash of desire and a stern look that was bound to win, he opened his lips and said with a low smile: "His Royal Highness Huai, you really surprised me."

The murderous intent in Liu Changjue's beautiful eyes was fleeting, but he could clearly see Lin Shuyu's covetousness for Chu Ce.

"Master Lin is too famous." Chu Ce smiled warmly as if he hadn't realized it, and he didn't have the cowardly attitude of the past. He said gently and gently, "I just hope that Master Lin will take some thoughts that shouldn't be there. After all, some people can't be moved. My lord said Yes or no?"

"It's not a long-term solution to rely on the protection of others." Lin Shuyu didn't care, glanced at the handsome and handsome staff who were staring at him, and left.

"What?" Mr. Liu, who was always indifferent and neither sad nor happy, sneered, with unconscious disgust welling up in his eyes.

The boy wrapped in a cloak raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother."

"..." Liu Changjue froze, remained silent for a moment, and cast a glance, "Who is your elder brother? His Highness Duke Huai speaks carefully."

After saying that, he turned around, spotless, still the young master of Fengyue above the clouds.

"The royal family is the most ruthless, my son must remember, don't trust it."

Liu Changjue paused slightly, and smiled silently.

—Brother?

Royal brothers, which one is not the enemy of life and death?

In the northwest, it was the end of February when Mei Geng rushed to Yunzhou.

Yunzhou was originally not the northwestern border. After several battles, the city was lost and the territory was lost, so it retreated to Yunzhou to garrison.

In the fiefdom of feudal lords, the young King Xiping is the lord of the Northwest. In the Northwest War, most of the Northwest Army stationed in the Northwest had seen the heroic demeanor of the young general with their own eyes. Now that King Xiping is back, the courtiers and generals in the Northwest are delighted. Unceasingly, I almost beat the drums to celebrate.

Just one month after arriving in Yunzhou, Mei Geng accepted the news from Liu Changjue. Mr. Liu cherished words like gold and was stingy with pen and ink. He only said that Lin Shuyu had restrained himself a lot recently, and he had no clue about the forces behind it.

Mei Geng pondered for a while, swiped his pen and ink, and replied a long and eloquent reply letter, which was quietly sent back to Yong'an with a dark thread.

—— Only a few numbers were returned to Liu Changjue, indicating that he understood.

The rest is full of lovesickness, the ink is deep and shallow, and the lines are full of lingering sadness. It is written to His Highness Huai Wang.

Qin Gui knocked on the door outside and said, "My lord, Ge Chu is here."

Mei Geng paused slightly, "Let her in."

The one who came in with Qin Gui was a woman in a pure black long gown with narrow sleeves. Her hair was tied up like a man's and she was dashing and neat. Unsmiling, with a rigid expression.

"See you, my lord." Ge Chu bowed, took out a secret letter from his sleeve, and handed it over, "The Jiang clan in Xixia is tyrannical, forcing the surrounding tribes to pay taxes and tributes like a congratulations to the Great Chu. Anyone who resists will be bloodbathed and wiped out. Now only the Northwestern tribes are left. The tribes of Tartar and the tribes of Wanggu, if we want to make a move, we must do so while the two tribes are still alive."

Mei Geng was a little distracted. When he went to war in his previous life, Xixia almost occupied the entire Northwest. He won that battle because he completely abandoned the so-called formation of swords and spears.

Xixia people are ruthless, with despicable methods, so he is even more ruthless, isn't it just risking his life?He went all out to fight, caught a general and dismantled his bones piece by piece, and fed a piece to the hungry dogs in front of him, listening to his own flesh and bones being chewed and swallowed, and the man couldn't bear it when the forearm bone was dismantled. He wailed and explained the defense clearly.

In addition, not long after the Northwest was pacified at that time, the smoke of war was raging everywhere, which really made him look for an opportunity to fight a beautiful battle fiercely.

But in an instant, Mei Geng withdrew from his memories, and glanced thoughtfully at the secret letter, which was the recent situation of the various tribes reported by the informant.

"Don't move the nails buried in the city by the Xia people." Mei Geng slightly raised his lips, and casually folded the secret letter, "It's not too late, let the informant fuel the fire."

In the previous life, after the battle of Jinwu Ridge with Xixia, it took five years to fight again, and he pushed this time forward, so that the ethnic riots in the northwest were brought forward, so he could take advantage of the chaos.

"This subordinate understands." Ge Chu nodded, and then backed out.

Qin Gui's sword, which was always in his arms, was buckled at his waist, and soft armor was pasted on top of his black clothes. He said, "My lord, if there is a war with the northwest, where will Yong'an be?"

"Let's talk about it after we fight." Mei Geng didn't take it seriously, stacked up the official documents that had been processed neatly, closed his eyes and sneered, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so I don't care about my king."

Qin Gui felt that it was very reasonable, he nodded and left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, she saw Ge Chu waiting in the courtyard. Beside her was a young man in silver armor with a piece of dry grass in his mouth. Seeing him smiling very comfortably, he shook his hand and said, "Qin. Senior Brother Fu has come back, come and drink."

"..." Qin Gui was silent for a moment, determined not to go crazy with this little lunatic, and walked in another direction.

The phantom in black floated over, Ge Chu firmly blocked his way, an imperceptible smile appeared on his already beautiful face, and he said softly: "Junior Brother Qin Gui, Senior Sister has something to ask you."

"..." Qin Gui gritted his teeth, and didn't want to answer, why is this one or two abnormal?

The laughing young man also came over, the withered grass had already been twirled on his fingertips, he shook it twice, and smiled brightly: "Let's go, let's go, you have been with the prince in Yong'an these years, I heard that the prince likes men? A beautiful woman named Yu? Tell us, what happened to His Royal Highness Duke Huai? Which one is the real wife?"

"Qi Xiu..." Qin Gui's usually expressionless face finally showed some subtlety, but he stopped suddenly, glanced at the direction of the study thoughtfully, and said quietly: "Why don't you ask the prince yourself?"

Qi Xiu paused for a moment, feeling like a glow was on his back, turned his head stiffly, and saw the handsome and handsome King Xiping leaning against the door frame with his shoulders in his arms, his eyes were smiling but not smiling, harboring malicious intentions and lurking danger.

He didn't dare to ask, Qi Xiu and Ge Chu looked at each other, and ran fast with oil on their feet.

-

At the beginning of April, when it was warm and cold, the swan geese returned to the north.

The completion of the canal, before the celebration, came the battle report from the northwest, saying that Xixia had invaded, and the civil servants and generals of the Yong'an court had a quarrel that turned the world upside down. It was nothing more than the main battle and peace. All make sense, no idea.

The Luowang party tried its best to advocate peace, and hoped to send envoys to Xixia to discuss peace. No one objected, so they finalized the matter and sent Yan Daoming, the Privy Council envoy, to Xixia.

At that time, Xixia was being suppressed by the great Chu and the tribes, and when there was nowhere to vent their anger, the envoys who took up the pole for peace talks had just entered the border of Xixia, and before they even saw the face of Queen Jiang Jin, they moved their heads and threw their bodies in Jinwu Ridge is really a provocation.

At the beginning of June, the sun was burning, and the Northwest was full of beacon fire.

Before the memorial arrived at Yong'an, there was smoke in the northwest. King Xiping led his army to fight Xixia. When Yong'an received the news, the army had already broken through Jinwuling.

In the place where the Northwest Army suffered a disastrous defeat, Mei Geng led the army to hold a feast to sacrifice to the sky, three liang of rice wine, to respect the soul of the great Chu hero who wandered here, to welcome the old man, to return to his hometown.

Suddenly there was another disturbance in the court. Luo Wang's party reprimanded King Xiping for having no emperor and daring to go to war with the northwest in private. However, there were already many young talents in the court. Shouldn't King Xiping open the city gate and be captured without a fight?

His Royal Highness Duke Huai, who has always been peaceful and gentle, played at this time, the battle in the northwest is inevitable, and when the battle is fought, we will fight.

In addition to the support of the generals, the civil servants headed by Yu Yi and Luo Kuan also supported the proposal. The Luo Wang party was wronged and could not find a reason to refute it. At this time, the second battle report from the Northwest arrived.

The Northwest Army defeated the enemy and regained Jinzhou.

During the scorching heat, the battle was hard, Mei Geng was wearing armor and took the lead, the cruelty and indifference on the battlefield was like a sharp blade, not a person, where the spear swept, it was full of red stains.

Northwest generals and officials who have been aggrieved for several years are proud. All the food and grass needed for the war came from the Northwest. They did not ask for a grain of rice from the court. The officials who were ashamed because of the defeat in the past finally straightened up in front of the people and praised Xiping Wang Xiaoyong.

The morale was high, and it was the time to take advantage of the victory to pursue. Before Xixia Jiang Rong went to the battle, the city gate would not be opened, and he would not fight. If the army dares to enter one mile, it will kill a hundred people in the city here."

In the city, there are all Zhongyuan people, the people of Dachu.
